My latest painting, not yet finished, is of Hubert Hahne in his works BMW 2002 which finished 1st for a BMW 1-2 at the Nurburgring 6 hours on July 7th 1968. A remarkable finish for BMW's new 2002 marking the beginning of a very successful racing career. Prints will be available upon completion on paper or canvas as well as the original. POA.

Inspiration: Monte Carlo Rally 1969
The inspiration for my car has been the 2002's that competed in the 1969 Monte Carlo Rally. Specifically the car of Dutch driver Rob Slotemaker. It can be seen at the very end of this video, number 115. Above are some images of another of Slotemakers 2002's. Apparently this one was modified by Alpina with a 300 degree cam shaft, high compression pistons and the Borrani steel wheels. Simply gorgeous. Below you will find a short video featuring some of the 2002's that took part in the '69 Monte Carlo Rally, just watch Timo Makinen's Scandinavian flick.
